Inspired by characters from Nopixel GTA RP, because I can't stop writing music about fictional relationships

Lyrics:

Where are you, cowboy?
are you runnin' from the law?
I’ve been waiting for that call
to tell me where you’ve gone
Where are you, cowboy?
it’s been so very long
Don’t you know I worry
when you’re out there all alone?

I’ve been talkin' to a man
says he wants a second chance
He don’t remember what he'd done
to end up staring down my gun
The boys all say they want him back
but I don’t know just where I stand
Cause every time I see his face
I swear I feel Death’s cold hands


Where are you, my love?
I’ve been tryin' to come home
but the path is steep and beneath my feet
the road is all rattling Bones
Where are you, cowboy?
You better walk in through that door
and once you’re here, I’ll hold you dear
and we won’t worry bout old Death no more

worry bout old death 
worry bout old death no more…

Lyrics:

I saw it when she walked into the bar
From the tattoos on her arms
To the stories in her scars
She wore that denim proud for all to see
and the letters 'cross the back
spelled out don't you fuck with me

She's a road queen
lives for riding free
hears an engine in her dreams
she's a road queen
Got the devil at her back
and a gun beneath the seat

I saw it as she drank that whiskey down
From the sadness in her eyes
To the pain she carries ‘round
She wears that heartbreak like
It keeps her safe and sound
And she hits the highway cause
it’s the only peace she’s found

She’s a road queen
lives for riding free
hears an engine in her dreams
she’s a road queen
got the devil at her back
and a gun beneath the seat

If you ever see her, better stay out of her way
Cause if you  mess around she’ll put you in the ground
Don’t try to hold her up, cause she’s faster on the draw
If you ever track her down, she was probably never there at all


She’s a road queen
lives for riding free
hears an engine in her dreams
she’s a road queen
got the devil at her back
and a gun beneath the seat
Road queen...

Road Queen

I tried for a long time to record this "properly" - i.e. with bass/drums and electric guitar, but it basically demanded to be an old school acoustic track. This is the way I perform it live, and it's fitting - it's from an ugly time in my life, so it feels right that the recorded version also be a little ugly and imperfect.

For Barry

If you're wishing for something smooth
I've got just the man for you
He's got hair like fire and emerald eyes
you can tell he'll treat you right

You can put him in your phone as Kerrygold
When you call he'll meet you at home
if you're looking for a lover just remember
Everything's better with a little Irish butter

he's like a whiskey in a fancy glass
Got people staring when he's walkin past 
Maybe it's the uniform, maybe it's the badge
Or maybe it's just that damn fine ass

You can put him in your phone as Kerrygold
When you call he'll meet you at home
if you're looking for a lover just remember
Everything's better with a little Irish butter

Lyrics:

I called you that night
You said things were fine
I didn’t know then
You’d already made up your mind
To lie to my face
About the places you’d been
So you could have
Your twenty minutes with him

Don’t you know you lost me
when you said you loved me
when you said you loved me
from his bed

When I picked you up 
from that plane you took
could tell something was wrong
with just one look

You tried to hide
what I knew inside
but the truth's out at last
and I gotta ask

Don’t you know you lost me
when you said you loved me
when you said you loved me
from his bed


I should have known from the start
never gave you my heart
could’ve saved so much pain
if I’d just walked away

When you said you loved me
when you said you loved me
when you said you loved me
from his bed
